APGO EDUCATION FOUNDATION BURSARIES​

The APGO Education Foundation (APGOEF) recognizes the importance of integrating internationally trained geoscientists and supporting their attainment of the requirements for registration as a P.Geo. with Professional Geoscientists Ontario (PGO). Our bursary program provides support for taking required courses to meet knowledge requirements, completing the professional practice and ethics exam (PPE) and application costs. Bursaries range in value from $1,500 to $5,000 and can be awarded throughout the year subject to available funding.

HOW TO QUALIFY

Bursaries are awarded to immigrants to Canada who are internationally trained geoscientists and have demonstrated financial need for completion of requirements for registration as professional geoscientists in Ontario (such as taking university courses, exams, etc).
